Keo X-Men | Operation: Doomsday

Keo X-Men — Operation: Doomsday

Operation: Doomsday takes its title and subject directly from MF DOOM’s landmark 1999 debut album, widely regarded as one of the most influential records in underground hip-hop. The masked, comic-villain persona of the late rapper Daniel Dumile — modelled on Marvel’s Doctor Doom — became as central to his identity as the music itself, and has been reinterpreted by visual artists many times since his death in 2020.

This print renders the mask in dense, comic-book crosshatching against spray-painted cloud bursts in teal and orange, closer in technique to golden-age comic inking than to street art’s usual stencil or spray vocabulary. This impression is marked as artist’s proof 7.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
